Remington 750 Woodsmaster


Recommended Posts

Had one years back. Had jamming trouble. Look at the Winchester sxr rifle. I just bought a new Browning shortrack but it was almost a toss up between them. Look at Joes sporting goods in little canada they had the best price I could find.

The 750 is only a couple years old, you might be thinking of the older versions. They have supposedly gotten better. My dad has an old 742 from at least the early 60's that he never cleans and never has a problem with, though he is the type that shoots a couple rounds before the season and only needs a couple rounds for the season to kill his deer. I think the worst version was the 7400 which was between the two.

I just helped my dad pick one out about a month ago. He had a 7400 and just upgraded to a new one. He had known he wanted a new rifle and after shooting my 700 after I filled my tags this years he decided not to give up the semi auto. So we started looking at the options for a semi. There is really only four: Benelli R1, Browning BAR, Winchester, and the 750. I have heard some terrible things about the R1, I don't know if any of them are true but it still ruled that out. The BAR didn't seem to fit me or my dad at all, we didn't like the shape of the stock. The winchester felt ok but we really didn't know much about it. My dad decided on a synthetic 750 in a .270. It has been such bad weather since he bought it he has not got a chance to shoot it yet, but if works as good as his 7400 he will be in good shape.

I've owned a 742 (742 & 7400 pre-cursors to the model ur looking at) since I started hunting. Never clean it, never jams. I've shot a lot of military surplus rounds out of it, and ran the 15 rd clips rapid fire when I was younger dinkin around. I'd say it's a great MN woods deer rifle. If you plan on doing any distance shooting or going out west, I'd go with a bolt though. Once it gets out to 300 yds+, she starts getting sloppy. My dad has shot 2 moose with his, and our hunting party has probably taken 30+ deer over the years with 742's and 7400's, never had a jam. I have heard some horror stories about these guns, but the 4 that we've shot have been very reliable.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
